Lester's Overpair Holds

Jason Lester made a raise under the gun, and the small blind gave him action. The flop came {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}, and after a back-and-forth battle, the small blind ended up moving all in. Lester called him down with the covering stack.

He was in the lead with {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs} but the small blind was drawing live to six outs with {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}. The {J-Spades} on the turn was a blank, and the {J-Hearts} that hit the river was too, spelling the end of the day for the all-in player. Lester earns himself the knockout, moving his stack up to 60,000.
